It's a file-sharing service, like the belated Napster, which was shut down by the greedy record companies.  If you use it, you must download their software.  However, I would recommend you download KaZaA Lite, which has no spyware in it.  The actual KaZaA program is loaded with spyware, and if you remove it using AdAware, the program will no longer work!  I prefer to use WinMX myself.  It's a lot like the old Napster, and the WinMX program is spyware-free!

you know whats really funny, those commericals you see on TV that are Computer programs that are meant to help people who dont know how to use computer programs....boy Im sure those really help..thats like the book to learn how to read.....When I bought my VCR, they sent me a video with it that explains how to set up the VCR....let me tell you, that sure helped me alot.  I set up that VCR in no time!

Im still trying to fit this into my stand up act
